From the Society of Cincinnati in the State of New Jersey.
I like to do RoadTrippin' Through History in these blogs and here is an example of it. I was writing about a man named Anne-Louis Toussard (or Tousard) in my War of 1812 blog. He was French consul in New Orleans in 1812 when a strong hurricane hit. Further research on him showed that he played a major role fighting for the colonists in the American Revolution and because of it became a member of the Society of Cincinnati.
Go to my Not So Forgotten: War of 1812 blog July and August to read about Anne-Louis Toussard.
He had a grandson who fought in the Civil War and because of his relationship to Toussard, he also became a member of the Society of Cincinnati.
He was classified as a Hereditary Member, Admitted in 1888.
Grandson of propositus Anne-Louis de Toussard. Born in Philadelphis, PA, on 5 March 1819 and died in Philadelphia, PA on 23 May 1897.
He began his Civil War service in the Army of the Potomac, 2nd Brigade of General McCall's Divivion from August 1861 to March 1862.
